Yeah, I'd say the green card is an accurate assessment! It may also be the card that brings the house of cards down. Especially since in the wake of the SCOTUS decision for Arizona, he has elected to only enforce the laws that are convenient for him.

Yes he played it to his advantage, Would have never approached it if it had not been a campaign benefit for him, He will play all types of cards to get re=elected no matter the effect they will have on these United States,

he already has the laatino/mexican votes but like the democ crats always have ddone after the elecction they turn around and slap their latino/mexican people in the face. They are just being used and played again and are to blinde/dum to see it.. I bet they will get deported after Obama gets re-elected.

No. maggot! You are a lying liar that lies. He didn't even mention the word g...

Obtaining a green card means navigating one of two ways to permanent legal status. Once that is in hand, you're on your way to citizenship in about 5 years as long as you don't break the law and can pass the test.

1) You need to be a spouse or parent, child, or sibling of a citizen. Then it's time to get in line. And wait. Marrying a citizen is not any guarantee since Congress passed the Defense of Marriage Act.

2) The USA has a quota for 25,000 green cards per year per country. The President has no power over this. (NO, he cannot just hand out green cards. Makes for a fine story but it doesn't work that way.) That means Moldova, ( pop 3.5 million) gets the same number of green cards as Mexico ( pop. 112 million). Time to get in line and wait... and wait and wait. Right now the USA is considering Filipino siblings who applied in January of 1989. (US Immigration Services).

The only way to circument all of this wait, wait, wait is to have a skill that is considered crucial ... that includes the H1-B visas for those whiz kids in Silicone Valley.

The point is , a work permit is miles from green card status. Apples and oranges.

It's bad enough that 0 wants to pass destructive laws. Now, he's just deeming them passed himself. Where in the hell is the rest of congress and the courts on this. Have we really descended to banana republic status?

Usually an "identity card" means someone shielding themselves from criticism by blaming critics for hostility towards an entire group, such as a "race card," "religion card," etc., instead of criticism being based on their actual behavior.

In this case, a "green card" is a rather clever play on words, although in this context it does NOT divert criticism by blaming critics for hostility towards an entire group.

No permanent decision was made regarding the status or amnesty toward illegal aliens. Just another can kicked down the road for Republicans not to do anything about either. Much the same way he solved the gay marriage issue. His "base" must be thrilled with him.
